Let’s get straight to the point… we can do this! September 15th is a day that Downtown Printwear has you covered. It’s Make a Hat Day! Forget the fact that it’s also Felt Hat Day. We can incorporate that into this celebration. So what type of hat do you want to make? The opportunities are limitless! But here are some ideas to get you started:

The difference between can and cannot are only three letters. Three letters that determine your life’s direction.

September 13th is Positive Thinking Day. Nobody likes a pessimist, except other pessimists. Being around positive people puts you in a better mood and has been proven to produce better outcomes. Try waking up in the morning and thinking just one positive thought. If you start your day with something positive there’s a better likelihood it will continue throughout the day. Stuck in traffic on the way to work? Who cares! It could be a lot worse. At least you have a job. Think positive. Be positive.

Just when we were getting into our groove, Mother Nature threw us a vicious curve ball. Fortunately the team at Downtown Printwear is always prepared for a natural disaster – we even took out cloud insurance:

You can never be too safe when operating heavy printing equipment. The last thing we want to experience is a misprinted shirt or devastation like the pictures below:

Close your eyes and listen to the raindrops as they hit the ground or splash against your window. Now open them and realize that you can’t slack off all day! Unfortunately today would be a perfect opportunity to celebrate National Relaxation Day, but hopefully you took advantage of the weekend and find yourself fully rejuvenated. Perhaps this holiday should always fall on a weekend? Better yet, it should be a national holiday! Instead of August 15th, make sure National Relaxation Day falls on a random Tuesday or Wednesday so we can all enjoy a little R&R. You can thank us later for the brilliant idea!

Other Holidays:

Best Friends Day – a best friend should be there every day!

National Lemon Meringue Pie Day

National Failures Day – Nobody ever said you were perfect. If you want an omelet you need to break some eggs, right?

No, we’re not postponing today’s holiday for another day. Rain Day is an actual holiday and there’s a history behind it! There’s even a festival to celebrate Rain Day! Apparently it always rains on July 29th. Check the forecast today: Schenectady = Rain, Boston = Rain, rain, rain rain. How is that even possible? It’s like July 29th is cursed. 112 out of 136 years – wow!

Other Holidays:

National Talk in an Elevator Day few things are more awkward than a long, silent elevator ride full of people

It doesn’t happen all too often that a new product comes along and revolutionizes the marketing industry. We’ve all noticed advertisements along the side of bus, truck, or even the magnetic door advertisements people throw on their personal vehicles. Aside from custom detailing there are few options for window advertising – at least few that aren’t permanent. Toyota presents “Window to the World” – imagine the possibilities if you could easily your message each day or target a new prospect as you arrive for a meeting. That is just the beginning!

How far away is this reality? Perhaps we should ask: How far away are we from “mainstream” functionality? Sure, Bill Gates probably contacted Toyota and has this technology in one of his 32489234o7 cars, but what about “normal” people like you and I? I say less than 5 years. We’re due for another revolutionary product. Every 5-7 years it happens. By my calendar the last truly revolutionary product was the iPhone. Can you think of something more revolutionary in the past 3 years?
